LAHORE: National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq on Wednesday decided to file a contempt of court petition against tribunal judge Justice Kazim Malik in the Lahore High Court, challenging his decision pertaining to verification of votes cast in NA-122 constituency.

The speaker has consulted his counsel Asjad Saeed on the matter who told DawnNews that the tribunal’s decision was unilateral.

He said the tribunal judge had heard PTI Chairman Imran Khan and his six witnesses but had not heard out the speaker and his witnesses.

He moreover said the tribunal’s decision was in violation of the Supreme Court’s order which said that the tribunal should should first determine the maintability of the petition filed by Khan and then take the case forward.

He said the tribunal had issued its decision without determining the maintainability of the petition.
